GLADIOLI 



Summer-flowering bulbs of the very easiest culture and with a wide 

 range of color. Elegant for the garden or beautiful for cut-flower 

 purposes. For the latter use they should be cut when the first flower 

 opens, the balance of buds will develop when spikes are placed in 

 water and thus greatly prolong the blooming term. Plantings may 

 be made every two weeks to provide for a succession. We offer the 

 leading mixtures and a selection of excellent named varieties.
